About Flatlands Volunteer Ambulance and First Aid Corps:
Flatlands Volunteer Ambulance and First Aid Corps proudly protects 40000 households people living in an area of several square miles. We operate out of one stations that protect a primarily residential area. Our department is a public department whose members are on a volunteer status. No updating is planned for this site after April 2002. Please visit us at www.fvac.org. The Flatlands Volunteer Ambulance Corps is a group of people working together to provide our community with the highest quality ambulance service at no charge to the patient or the patient's family. Flatlands responds to approximately 1,000 emergency calls per year. The largest cost factor in our $120,000 budget is over $40,000 in insurance premiums. Financial contributions are important. Without the generous support of the community we could not continue our services. More important is the contribution of time As people move, get different jobs, or decide to pursue other interests we constantly lose members. Good members are hard to replace. This is especially true of the trained individuals who are responsible for the actual delivery of emergency medical care, our EMTs. We provide all of the training necessary for you to become an EMT. We operate at the EMT-D level which allows us to use sophisticated, computerized defibrillation equipment to treat serious heart attacks.
